Yes, I know the header is deeply flawed... BUT SO IS THIS CULTURE AND TONIGHT'S playlist as well.....! (...ah-herm...) Funny I've never noticed this before but grouping the artists as I am into categories, hidden patterns are emerging... What I've learned the least few weeks is that many of the acts on the list from the USofA are really noisy .. From concrete, to free jazz to ambient electronica minimalist to sound collage... And tonight's a great example. In fact, since two of the TITANS of minimalist modern composing, Terry Riley and Steve Reich are on tonight's playlist, I've decided to combine two of their more melodic and pleasant pieces together into a single, screeching atonal cacophony. BTW, I'm still 10-midnight...the change didn't happen,,,,,,,,

It appears my radio station has decided to shoot a promotional video in the main studio tonight that includes having a dog (yes, a literal dog) at the console... So my show tonight will be 12 to 2 AM and actually per kismet starting next week , I'm going back to that slot anyway...

I didn't broadcast last week... sorry for no announcement. This week, back to the American artists on the list. Starting out a bit upbeat and Jazzy and QUICKLY slowing down into a minimalist concrete delirium! Drink some coffee or just give in and slam an 8 ball for this...

We continue our strange musical tour of the British Isles with more of the same from last week, just a lower ratio of fun upbeat stuff to... well... even some fairly disturbing fare, with one of my favorite noise pieces of all time... T.G.'s Hamburger Lady... (how may other songs have you heard about a burn victim?)

Lots and lots of British acts on the List! Many of them are upbeat, fun and quirky as well. This week's set is one of my favorites in a while. Everything is offered from upbeat anarcho-punk, to artsy New Wave, Rock, Prog and experimental concrete fun.

...or Scandinavians, more accurately. Turns out that Denmark, Sweden, Norway AND Finland are all represented by acts on the list, and here they are in rocky and experimental bliss!

And the French Weirdness series comes to an end with a bonus track (filling in the dead space at the end as the entire 4 week trek came up short of divisibility by 2 hours) by the EPIC French group (and one of my personal favs) Magma, also complementing a solo track by the band's founding genius drummer, Christian Vander, as he is also listed separately by the NWW trio and is in addition, also French too, as well... !
